RAM question


Recommended Posts

Hello. I am at a crossroads with my pc and I am reaching out for some knowledge. I have an ASUSX470-f MB with a Ryzen 1700x CPU. My RAM is 32gb 3000, and a 1g m2280ssd.

I am looking to increase my RAM and ssd.

So I am wondering with my finances I have 2 choises: go from 32g 3000mhz to 32g of 4000mhz. Or get 16gb 4600mhz RAM for about the same price.

Thoughts and opinions?

Thanks

I doubt that would make any noticeable difference in performance to be honest.

Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit

You already have 32Gb of Ram. If its burning your pocket, better to upgrade your CPU.

 

Agreed. You aren't going to see much of a speed increase from RAM, get the bigger SSD.

 

 

If you are still feeling like you want an upgrade, when the 4k series Ryzen chips drop later in 2020, you can upgrade to one of those without having buy new RAM or MB, you will just need to update your BIOS.

If I were in your shoes, I would rather replace the 1st generation Ryzen with a 3rd generation one, like the Ryzen 3600 or 3600X ... it will make a greater performance increase than the RAM or SSD would, and it is supported by your motherboard if using BIOS 4804 or newer.

Yah, RAM speed upgrade would be a huge waste of cash. What is you video card and what resolution do you play at?
